In 2001, Koresh birthed Hip-Hop Harvest, a bi-annual gospel celebration in Birmingham, AL. Harvest was started to fill the void for Christian entertainment in the metropolitan area. The festival has taken on many forms including: Hip-Hop Harvest Katrina Relief and the bi-annual, Hip-Hop Harvest: Christmas. The festival’s goals are to garner donations toward the establishment of computer labs for area community programs and outreach ministries, aide families displaced to Birmingham from New Orleans, and to provide Christmas gifts to children with one or more parents incarcerated. To date, Hip-Hop Harvest has received over $200,000 in monetary donations, computers and computer related equipment and over $5,000 in gifts for our Christmas program.

you.
